Gillian, This truly is a fully baked love letter. I devoured every single link and video. You describe every detail of this Italian scene of summer perfectly. I also adore that you linked to made in Italy products and other experts. Un capolavoro!

Loved being introduced to the video about the fagottari. It was so nostalgic and lovely. And the gara culinaria was so classic. "We ended up eating twice" LOL.

La Fontelina can stress me out sometimes, so I will def check out "La Canzone al Mare" :) Thank you!

HA! OMG, yes, this was a very satisfying review! Especially comparing it to high school and standing there with your lunch tray wondering where you will be "accepted" to sit. Thanks for the giggles.

Oh I love this article! And I’m so glad I got to 2 of the mentions when I was there, thanks to your info. Il Barreto was the best! You forgot to mention your L’estate Italiana playlist 😂

Already working on my next trip…

Thank you! I am so pleased that you were able to escape the unseasonable heat with a few beach trips. It is one of the best solutions. I think that I linked that playlist in there somewhere :)
